I'm sending opentelemetry traces to Azure Monitor (via Application Insights) following this guide.
Does Application Insights have a view similar to something like what Jaeger, Zipkin and Tempo offer, or can I only view the traces as log entries in a table?
Yes Application Insights has a very rich UI you can go to and view application map, failures, performance + it gives you a full view of all the logs via KQL.
For a waterfall like UI you have multiple places this is shown. You can go to Requests, check a sample request and clicking on it will give you a waterfall view.
Although in my example, it's just a sample and I don't have many dependencies ie: if there was a downstream db call, api call etc it will show a clear waterfall with time slices etc
Or if you have a transactionId/Correlation ID then you can enter it in the "Transaction Search" and it will lead to a similar waterfall like UI
Here is a great video which shows all the major views in application insights
